Why teams connect Bigcommerce and MotherDuck

Make MotherDuck the analytics and enrichment layer behind Bigcommerce: orders, products, and customers stay current in both directions.

MotherDuck is the analytical store where the business joins, models, and reports on its data; Bigcommerce runs the storefront, catalog, and transactions that generate most of it. The overlap is every record that has to be counted and enriched on one side and acted on the other — and when the bridge is a nightly export, the warehouse reports on yesterday while the store operates without the segments and metrics the warehouse just computed.

Stacksync syncs Attached Local DuckDB Databases, Databases, Schemas, Tables in MotherDuck with Inventory, Price Lists, Shipments, Products in Bigcommerce field by field, in real time, and in both directions. Transactional records land in the warehouse as they change, computed attributes and cleaned catalog data flow back to the store, and you decide which system owns which fields so Stacksync resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • 02 Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management
  • 03 Write Inventory levels from a WMS or ERP onto BigCommerce Variants and SKUs so storefront availability reflects warehouse on-hand counts.
  • 04 Sync Customers and customer groups two-way with a CRM so marketing and support see the same accounts and addresses as the storefront.

Common sync patterns

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, corrections in either propagate to the other so analytics and the storefront share one identity.

Live analytics on store activity

Orders, products, and customer records from Bigcommerce land in MotherDuck as they change, so dashboards and models read current data instead of last night's export.

Where Bigcommerce accepts writes: push computed attributes back

Segments, lifetime value, and scores built in MotherDuck write onto the matching records in Bigcommerce, so merchandising and messaging act on warehouse logic.

What you can sync between Bigcommerce and MotherDuck

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Bigcommerce objects MotherDuck objects How this pairing syncs
Inventory Product- or variant-level stock, plus multi-location counts via the V3 Inventory API; written from a WMS to reflect on-hand quantities. Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Inventory is specific to Bigcommerce and Views to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Price Lists V3 price lists and records driving customer-group and B2B pricing; pushed from an ERP so tiered prices stay current. Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Price Lists is specific to Bigcommerce and Database Shares to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Order shipments with tracking numbers; created in BigCommerce from a 3PL or fulfillment system as packages ship. Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries. Shipments is specific to Bigcommerce and Attached Local DuckDB Databases to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Catalog V3 records with custom fields and images; mastered in a PIM or ERP and written to BigCommerce, or read out to a warehouse. Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Products is specific to Bigcommerce and Databases to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Variants and SKUs Per-variant pricing and inventory; synced to keep stock and SKU data aligned with an ERP or WMS at the option level. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Variants and SKUs is specific to Bigcommerce and Schemas to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Orders V2 Orders API header, line items, and shipping/billing addresses; read into an ERP or accounting system, with status written back. Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Orders is specific to Bigcommerce and Tables to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Bigcommerce and MotherDuck

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Bigcommerce MotherDuck Sub-second propagation

DetectionBigcommerce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks push near-real-time events (store/order/*, store/product/*, store/customer/* and more).

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to MotherDuck as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MotherDuck Bigcommerce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MotherDuck for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Bigcommerce through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Bigcommerce: OAuth quota refreshes every 30 seconds and varies by plan (about 20,000 requests/hour on Standard and Plus, 60,000 on Pro, higher on Enterprise); the X-Rate-Limit-Requests-Left header reports remaining calls.
  • MotherDuck: Subject to the platform's compute and concurrency limits rather than per-request API rate limits.
